Description: Day 2 {Upper Body Blast} 💪🏾

This upper body workout is broken down into 2 Tri- sets followed by some conditioning. The concept of a tri-set is to perform 3 exercises back to back, followed by a short rest. If you find that the workout is too “easy” I recommend you increasing the weight. If you find that the workout is too “hard” I recommend you decrease the weight. Try to increase the weight each set. Modifications should only be performed by those who have an injury. I recommend you pushing yourself to get the exercise done.

3 sets total of each superset. Rest between each tri-set 45-60 secs.

Do a cardio warmup of your choice for 5 mins before you begin your workout of the day.
